Take a look at this thread: http://forum.androidcentral.com/epic-4g-roms-hacks/47362-three-procedures-fix-gps-problems-froyo.html
so far so good - one question
This forum is awesome. Thanks to all who post here for the guidance.
Now that I've gone through the whole procedure which seems to have worked, I only see some of my purchased apps in the market rather than all of my downloaded apps. I also see my backed up apps in Titanium backup with lines through them.
Is it generally ok to restore apps from Titanium backup after flashing a ROM or does this cause problems? Should I reinstall from the market rather than restoring?
Thanks again

If you backed up on a stock/unmodified system and are planning to restore with TB on a custom ROM, yes - that can cause problems. I would reinstall from the Market this time.
When going from ROM to ROM, it's usually ok to restore with TB. If you want to be extra safe, only restore apps (not apps+data).

if i ever wanted to re-flash back to stock Eclair, even with this new file system thingy, would I just use Odin as normal?

Are you currently at factory stock Eclair after using Odin? If so then what do you want to do and we can help get you there.
Having an issue with browser downloads killing the browser in the quantum rom. I read here: Issue 13 - quantum-rom - Browser Download - Project Hosting on Google Code
that it's a known issue, and someone was able to get around it by reinstalling the browser plugin. Anyone able to help a noob out on how to do this? I'm unable to locate the specific plugin, nor how to reinstall. I'm guessing the latter is done with Clockwork.

yes, after using odin. now i came to the point where i want froyo and a working gps. but i think since now i ran the bat to have ext4, froyo wont update from my sd card at all. when im in the android system recovery, and apply the update i get
e:failed to verify whole-file signature
e:signature verification failed
installation aborted
:/
What version of Quantum are you using? That link refers to v2.1.0, and I believe Quantum is up to v2.7.0.
I quick fix for this would be downloading the Miren Browser from the Market. I use it for all my downloads - it even downloads from sites that the stock browser won't.
If I were you I would open Google Maps and get a GPS lock (to minimize potential GPS problems in Froyo), use Odin to flash Froyo, and then run the EXT4 .bat file again to get root/Clockwork/EXT4. This will ensure a nice, easy, clean install.
Miren works for me, although I do like the standard browser for regular browsing more, this definitely helps a lot.
Your assumptions are correct, I'm using the latest from the sources you listed in the OP.

Hello all I have a question regarding EXT4 & CWM3- If I upgrade to EXT4, and for some reason need to go back to RFS, is there an alternate to going thru Odin? I saw the directions and although many have stated that it is simple, I have a fear that I will miss a step or something? Can I reset/wipe and flash DI18 then DK28 to get back to RFS?
Regarding CWM3.0+, I'm currently on 2.5... and the only App that I'm concerned regarding the compatible zip files is SprintNav. Is there a zip file for SprintNav for CWM3+? Is there a link to find out what other Apps have CWM3 compatibility?
Thanks.

You would have to Odin back to either stock Eclair or stock Froyo. Either way you have to Odin back to restore the RFS filesystem/Amend script. Simply wipe/factory restore will not reset the filesystem and scripting.
As far as the CWM3 compatible themes/add on's..

Quick (stupid) question. I rooted using this method and installed Bonsai4All 1.1.3 through CW3 and then installed Frozen Emotionless Beast theme to it.
Say I want to try a different ROM, how do I change? Is it the same as installing? Will i lose the theme, or have to reinstall it?
I am assuming I copy the ROM I want to the root of my SD card, boot into CW3 wipe data/dvalik and then click install from SD and away I go.
Thanks for the help.

You're correct - to change ROMs just flash the ROM zip in CWM3. You will have to flash your theme again as all the theme files will be overwritten by your new ROM.

Not all ROMs can be flashed with ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.0.X - what other ROMs were you trying to install?
TrulyEpic Rebirth v1.2 / VIPERrom(every Version possible) Tried both CWM Recovery 3+ and also 2.5.1.0 for everything. i cleaned it out to stock, then started from scratch. only Quantum 2.7 finishes
